I saw several Town players in the late 70s in the Hainton and (I was told!) they used to retire upstairs and watch artistic   films.

But my favourite memory is when I was younger and spent hours and hours watching Town at the Peak’s Lane  training ground.  One day I was walking along Victoria St with my Dad, aged about 12, and he nudged me saying "look that’s Dave Worthington coming towards us"… and as Dave passed us he nodded down at me and said "Now then Phil, nice to see you"
Made my day and Dad’s face was a picture.

Used to bump into George Kerr in Holton le clay regularly, is he still alive ??

Often used to talk to Michael reddy and Gritton outside the barge.


Grew up in HLC George was a regular in the Oak this is a few years ago though - not sure if he's still there , John Cockerill lived in the village to as did Arthur Mann - was a lovely guy - I can't say i really bumped into them though as it was my folks taking me on their walks around the village and talking to them .

Was on a stag do in Blackpool bout 15 pis#ed up lads Saturday tea time and someone got hold of a footy and said cmon let's have a game on the beach and promptly booted this ball towards the beach only to spoon it down the prom. Ball flew down prom and we shouted to nearest bloke here mate pass us that ball back and when guy stopped it and turned round it was Clive mendonca! (Was around the time he was at Charlton). There he was holding hands with his Mrs down the prom minding his own business next thing being serenaded with super super Clive by a mess of Grimsby fans - he saw the funny side thankfully

I bumped into Tommy Briggs on the football pitch.

I was only 15 and thought I will flatten him . How wrong was I .
